"Mike Marron"
And it's been nothing but downhill for the RCAF ever since....

Just an add on Mike.

End of WWII - ~1 million in uniform - population approx 12 million
1958 - RCAF around 51,000 - total three services around 110,000 -
population ~20 million.
1966 - Amalgamation of the three services into the CAF!

Today - Canadian Forces - between 50-58,000 estimated
- population around 33 million.

Good thing we are under the US umbrella! It's time we held up our end!
